Analysts say the military’s deadly crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state has led to a demise of press freedom.

‘I don’t want to [return], we will never be safe in Myanmar, we need to do the best we can here in Bangladesh.’

“If we go back we’ll be either tortured or killed… [Hear] our stories of sorrow… how [would you] feel in our shoes?”

“We don’t want a religious conflict, we just want to follow our religion in [a peaceful] way.”

“I would like the world to help us get our own country back or offer us another country that we could live in.”

Bangladeshi citizens have rallied together to provide much-needed food and shelter to Rohingya refugees.

‘I want the world to put themselves in our shoes – we are humans in the same way that you are humans.’

“I feel like the outside world is supporting us a lot and that makes me feel better. I want everyone to hear our story.”

“We want to go home and we want peace. I believe the world is watching our crisis and that they are trying to help us.”

“Bangladeshi people are being very kind, donating clothes and food, but I have not seen any international organisation.”
